WASHINGTON –– Today, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) led a letter with Republican House co-signers from Georgia, Florida, and Texas condemning the DOJ's recent lawsuit targeting Georgia for passing election reforms. This letter also raises concerns that the politically motivated DOJ could potentially lead lawsuits against other states that have adopted or plan to adopt state election reform legislation.
“While Democrats are losing the argument and reversing their positions over appropriate voter laws like requiring an ID, the Department of Justice is acting as the political arm of the White House with their baseless lawsuit against a recently passed election law in Georgia. It is unfathomable that the DOJ has injected its authority under the guise of civil rights by politically attacking a state operating within its right to pass election reforms. Attorney General Garland is not interested in the so-called disenfranchisement of voters; if he and his team were, they'd file lawsuits against New York and Delaware, where it is harder for Americans to vote compared to states like Georgia, Florida, and Texas.”
